High Energy QR Code Chapter 121: door
It's a pity that Xing Ye couldn't hug Lu Mingze, so he could only hold the mirror with his hands.
Guan Ling and Cao Qian were afraid after hearing the mirror's description. Fortunately, they had been waiting for Xing Ye to have a round with them. They also felt that the door might be the end, so they didn't open the door, but kept waiting. Xing Ye.
"Wei Miao has already entered the door," Cao Qian said, "There are 7 participants in our game this time, and the little mirror said he saw three. Are we the only three left now?"
"No, there are five." Xing Ye said while holding the mirror.
Remembering that Linda had saved her life, Cao Qian took out the swan crystal and thanked her softly. Linda responded by shaking her wings.
She can actually speak now, but she is still unwilling to speak in front of Xing Ye and others. Cao Qian said that Linda can talk when the two of them are alone, and she is a shy character.
Seeing that the relationship between the two has improved, Xing Ye talked about the effects of the three QR codes obtained by the little mirror in the previous world.
The main purpose is to tell Cao Qian that Linda can return to the real world, and that the initial skills of the two will be integrated in the future.
"However, the QR code for fusion skills can be discarded," Xing Ye said, "Not all skills are suitable for fusion. I think the essential purpose of this QR code is to provoke the relationship between the player and the props. Prepare for the obliteration of consciousness in the future."
Guan Ling shook his body, grabbed Xing Ye's arm and said, "Boss, I don't want to become a prop."
Xing Ye said: "Don't worry, I will continue to pass the level. As long as there is a way to leave the game, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Okay, boss!" Guan Ling cheered up.
But then he became depressed again: "I owed a lot of gambling debts. My parents sold the house and only paid back part of it. Now there is still a million yuan left. The house price in our small place is only 5,000 to 6,100 square meters , I want to save my wife, at least I have to buy a house for my parents, and then buy my own house back, plus one million gambling debts, at least five million is enough. I thought that in the high-level world, you can use points To exchange money, the points are 1:100, 50,000 points can earn 5 million, but after entering the advanced world, I may become a prop, what should I do?"
Cao Qian glanced at him and said, "Will you gamble again when you get 5 million?"
Guan Ling excitedly said: "Of course I won't!"
Cao Qian looked disbelieving: "Many people say that, but in fact, after they get 5 million, they think more about gambling once, grabbing the big one, and getting 10 million. Just wash your hands and quit, and finally continue to lose everything."
Guan Ling wanted to refute, but Xing Ye asked, "What work have you been doing recently?"
Guan Ling murmured: "I was originally a salesman, with a bonus of two to three hundred thousand a year plus a commission. I live pretty well in our place. I can take my wife and children on trips twice a year, but it's about gambling debts." After it broke out, I was fired from the company."
Cao Qian said: "I think even if you get 5 million, your wife won't talk to you after you pay off your debts and buy a house. In her mind, you are still a person who doesn't have a stable job. As long as you have money, you will still gamble badly. Don't try to quibble, just now in the spiritual world, your personality imagined that you are also a gambler, which means that you have not quit gambling at all."
Guan Ling's face was pale and he was speechless.
Xing Ye said earnestly: "Instead of asking for money in the game, it is better to find a job in real life. However, based on your resume, most companies will not hire you, even if you are hired. It is also difficult to repay the debt. You can start a small business with low cost first, and then accumulate money to pay off the debt. Whether you get back together with your wife depends on the other party’s opinion, but you must at least fulfill the responsibilities of a father and son, and at least get Show your attitude and reassure your elderly parents.”
Guan Ling fell silent, he knew that Xing Ye was right, but it was really difficult to take the first step.
Xing Ye stopped pointing, and he just made a few comments. This was probably the last melee world he experienced with Guan Ling and Cao Qian. If he missed this world, he would have no chance to talk face to face like this again.
The three of them have a tacit understanding of separating the game from reality, no matter who they are, they will not take the initiative to meet in reality.
Guan Ling knew that Xing Ye was rich, and five million was like a drop in the bucket to Xing Ye, but he never said, "Since we are teammates, boss, you can lend me five million. You can do whatever you want in the game", he is a measured person, which is why Xing Ye can always form a team with him.
The three of them sat in front of the door in silence, in fact, it was because of whether Wei Miao and the other two players would come out. Unfortunately, after chatting for an hour, no one came out.
"Do you feel hungry, thirsty, tired, and want to go to the bathroom?" Xing Ye asked.
Both of them shook their heads in unison. It has been seven or eight hours since they entered the game.
"It's not an option to wait like this," Xing Ye got up and said, "Let's count how many doors there are here first."
The hall on the first floor of this ancient castle is very strange. The stairs are facing a row of doors. The doors have no end and are endless.
The three of them looked up from the stairs, counting until they became agitated, and seemed to have walked ten miles along the stairs, but when they looked back, they were still at the bottom of the stairs, as if they had never walked out a step.
"What's going on?" Guan Ling asked, "I've already counted to 500!"
"This means that this hall has no spatial boundaries," Xing Ye said, "This phenomenon cannot be explained with our current level of knowledge."
"Then how do we determine the location?" Cao Qian asked, "Where are we and how do we get out? Why did the player who came out before say that there is no end at all?"
Xing Ye explained: "According to Little Mirror's guess, there should be no ending, that is to say, the players lost the simple option. But it doesn't matter to us, after all, our goal is only the true ending."
Guan Ling asked: "Why do players who escaped from the gate would rather commit suicide and lose points and QR codes to return to the novice world than die in the gate? In normal games, even if they fail, they only lose half Points."
Xing Ye looked at Cao Qian. He felt that Cao Qian should be able to answer this question. After a few worlds, Cao Qian has made great progress.
Cao Qian said: "The task of the game is to guess where this place is and successfully walk out to complete the task. Since the door is not the exit to show the ending, it is another more dangerous world. According to the little mirror According to the description, the door that the suicide player enters must be very scary, and he cannot die. If he does not commit suicide, he will be trapped there forever, unable to leave."
Guan Ling said: "That old Wei and the remaining two players we haven't seen"
"Stay inside." Cao Qian pointed to a row of doors behind her.
Guan Ling was silent. He didn't like Wei Miao very much. This person had the same social atmosphere as him. Wei Miao would push the door because he wanted to take advantage of the time when they gathered to win first, and he didn't have any good intentions. But such an ending is really too tragic.
"It doesn't matter," Xing Ye said, "As long as someone wins, the others can be automatically regarded as failures and can return to the game space. If you want to save them, you must work hard to pass the level."
Guan Ling cheered up all of a sudden, and looked at Xing Ye eagerly.
Seeing that the two looked taught, Xing Ye began to explain: "First of all, the first spiritual world we are in is not the same as these doors. The reason is that we fell from the ceiling Yes, and the suicide player escaped from the door.
"The other two players who were assigned to other spiritual worlds, according to the little mirror, they got out from under the floor, not behind the door, which is also a proof.
"Secondly, the game task mentions that winning will get 100 points, which means that the table ending exists. After we jumped off the building from the spiritual world, it stands to reason that the table ending should be established, and the first player to jump off the building wins. But he was assigned to this space, and encountered a scam, as if he could win by pushing the door.
"Once again, in the spiritual world just now, in order to find clues to the true ending, we searched almost the entire building, but what we found was the same as the player on the 20th floor, only clues to the ending.
"Finally, the phone."
Xing Ye held up his mobile phone for the two of them to watch.
"Is there any problem?" Cao Qian frowned, "And there is no connection between the points you mentioned, and there is no clue."
Xing Ye said: "Didn't you realize that this is a medieval European castle? That is to say, the background we live in is the same non-modern background as the Puppet City, so why is there a mobile phone? It should be a bracelet That's right."
"Let's talk about the conclusion, boss." Guan Ling chose to give up thinking.
Xing Ye saw that Cao Qian also looked puzzled, and sighed: "Have you never considered the problem of game bugs?"
"What!" Guan Ling jumped up and said, "Can we also have bugs in this game?"
Xing Ye said: "If there is an existence, there must be loopholes, and the game is the same. The four points I mentioned just now point to one feature, that is, this world originally set a true ending and points, but it was blocked halfway. Some kind of power has cut off the beard!"
"But the game on my phone still shows that it's in progress, and the system didn't notice that the mission was intercepted at all." Cao Qian said.
Xing Ye said: "It's not that it didn't find it, it found it and didn't stop it. Do you remember the note mentioned in the background of the story? The original background only had one sentence, 'Is this world unbearable? Don't be afraid, There are more uncomfortable things.', but when I looked at the phone for the second time, I found an extra note, 'The longer you continue in this weird world, the less rational you will be. Fear, anxiety, Sadness, depression, pain, irritability and other negative emotions are bothering you, how long can you not go crazy?', why didn't you make a note at the beginning?
"In the games we have participated in, almost all the questions are covered in the background prompts. Like the last hospital world, the system also hints a lot of information in the background, and there has never been a situation of after-the-fact remarks. I There are fewer worlds to participate in, and you have more, have you ever encountered such a situation?"
Cao Qian and Guan Ling shook their heads, they haven't met before, they haven't even played the real ending.
Xing Ye guessed: "So I think that the original design of the game is not like this. In that building, we still have many questions that have not been answered. For example, Xiao Hei's name was erased in the medical records, how did Xiao Hei Why did he choose to jump off the 34th floor when he entered the president's office. We encountered two consecutive crises on the 17th floor where I worked. The strength of the lizardman was beyond our imagination, but we didn't get any clues. There is a lot of information that has been artificially erased."
Cao Qian said: "You mean, originally we should only experience that world. Jumping off the building is the ending, but the real ending is to find out the truth about Xiao Hei's suicide. Maybe there is something deeper behind it, maybe even not. It's just one person's spiritual world, but the fusion of two or even three people's spiritual world, this is the true ending.
"But all of these disappeared, and the setting that the longer the time is, the less sanity is forcibly added, but the system did not stop it, but was happy to see it happen? What kind of power can intervene in the system?"
Cao Qian's question is also Xing Ye's question, and he can't answer it, but he has a vague guess that the reason for the increased difficulty of the game lies in himself.
This is his last game before the advanced world. He passed the level too easily. In the last world, he swept away 39,000 points from the system. In just five worlds, he will hit the advanced world. The system does not want to see.
So at the beginning of the game, Black and White Rubik's Cube persuaded Xing Ye to choose the hard mode. The system must have designed the difficulty in the hard mode so that Xing Ye must lose. Unfortunately, Xing Ye was not fooled.
As a result, unexpected accidents occurred in this world.
"I think, the game allows bugs to enter, so as not to let us pass the level easily." Xing Ye said.
"Then can we still go out?" Guan Ling was a little scared. If it was just a game, with Xing Ye's brain, they would definitely have a solution, but now it's not a game, and the rules don't work here.
"There should be," Xing Ye said, "I believe there is."
After the three were silent for a while, Xing Ye said: "Let's go upstairs and have a look. The little mirror said that the upstairs is also full of doors. Maybe there are some clues."
Guan Ling and Cao Qian nodded repeatedly. They felt a bit cold in this first-floor hall with no space restrictions. It's not the cold in the body, but the cold in the heart.
Before going upstairs, the three of them checked their props and basic skills, all of which were usable. Cao Qian's two initial skills were always in use, and the time limit was still 13 hours and 47 minutes.
After hearing Cao Qian's report, Xing Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "This is good news. It means that time is meaningful here. Space has no boundaries. If time loses its meaning, it will be really troublesome. Already."
The time on the watch and the phone stopped moving, and only the remaining time of Cao Qian's skills could tell them how long they had spent in the game.
The three of them went upstairs, and the wooden stairs made a "squeak" and "squeak" sound. It seemed that they had been in disrepair for a long time, and they might break if they stepped hard.
The stairs between the first and second floors are divided into three sections, and each section has 13 steps, which is very unlucky. Few people will build 13 steps unless they believe in the devil.
The second floor is different from the first floor, which has no spatial boundaries. When you go upstairs, you will see a spacious but dark corridor. It was daytime.
But the corridor is very dark, so it is illuminated by the oil lamps hanging on the wall. The oil lamp seems to have been burning for a long time, but the oil seems to be inexhaustible.
There are ten rooms on both sides of the corridor, five on each side, ten doors, and something is hung on each door.
One of them is the mirror mentioned by Lu Mingze. The three of them walked to the mirror and turned around, and it could reflect the shadow of a person. The strange thing is that there is a sign on the door with the mirror hanging on it, which says "going out" in Chinese.
The remaining nine doors are all marked with "Do Not Disturb", which means that there are people inside and they are taking a rest.
There is a painting on the first door on the left, but it is not a famous painting, but a bad crayon drawing, a bit like a schoolchildren's drawing. It shows only one person under the sun, looking up at the sky.
The second door is a very beautiful hairpin, and there is a strand of hair on the hairpin. Xing Ye boldly tugged on it, but the hair couldn't be pulled off.
The third door is a men's messenger bag, which is simple and generous in style, and can fit a 14-inch business notebook, like a bag carried by some business white-collar workers.
The fourth door is a necklace, which is very beautiful. The gemstones inlaid on the necklace are very large, and it is worth a lot of money at first glance.
The fifth door is the door with the mirror and "going out".
For some reason, Xing Ye always felt very uncomfortable when he saw this mirror. He really wanted to smash the mirror, but reason stopped him.
The five doors on the right are simple, and all of them are hung with weapons. There were knives, guns, ancient Chinese long swords, military stabs, and a grenade. The ring of the grenade was hanging on the door, which surprised Guan Ling.
"What's all this?" Guan Ling asked, "Can this 'going out' door be opened? Shall we try it?"
"Not for now, let's go to the third floor first." Xing Ye stopped Guan Ling, and the three continued to go up.
Compared to the gloomy first floor and the oppressive second floor, the third floor is suddenly bright. As soon as I walked up the stairs, I saw a huge seat. In front of the seat was a gorgeous desk. There were a few things on the desk, including books, pens, gold coins, daggers, and a figure kneeling towards the seat. The figure has no facial features, clothes or gender characteristics, and simply symbolizes people.
Xing Ye picked up the book, but nothing was written on it. However, the style of the books is a bit like the books on the Samsara bookshelf, and the quality of the paper is similar. He picked up the pen to write on the book, but he couldn't write a word.
"Is the pen out of ink?" Guan Ling asked.
Xing Ye shook his head. He continued to observe the gorgeous room on the third floor, and found that there were no ivy in the windows on this floor except for the chairs, tables and some decorations. layer of golden light.
Xing Ye looked out the window and saw that there was a garden outside. There was no one in the garden, but the flowers were blooming brilliantly. Xing Ye didn't know much about flowers. He only recognized roses and lilies below. He didn't know the rest, but there were many kinds of flowers.
Looking into the distance again, there is a layer of fog, and nothing can be seen.
Looking down from the third floor, there is a door on the first floor, and the door is closed at this time.
The old castle is very big. This building is only the middle building of the old castle. There are many buildings and land outside, but they are all hidden in the fog.
This building only has the third floor, and there is an attic on the top.
When the three of them were about to go to the attic, they heard the sound of a huge creature slowly crawling upstairs. There was a big lock on the attic door, which locked the door tightly.
The attic door was hit a few times. Although the door was made of wood, it seemed to be very strong. The things inside were so powerful that they couldn't knock the door open.
It finally stopped and there was no sound from upstairs.
"This" Guan Ling said, "What kind of place is this? How can we get out? There is no door on the first floor! And what is on it? Do we need to kill the monsters inside?"
Xing Ye, who had been silent all this time, laughed when he heard Guan Ling's words, and said, "I understand."
The confused Guan Ling asked: "Boss, what do you understand? Do you understand how we can get out?"
Xing Ye shook his head: "I don't have a clue about that yet, but I know why the game system will allow this bug to invade its mission. Even if it is to deal with me, opening up your own system is a bit risky."
"Then why?"
Xing Ye took a look at Guanling: "Your words reminded me, you just said, what is this place? This is consistent with the original intention of the game mission. This space is similar to the mission we want to complete. The game can also increase the difficulty of the original world setting, so it opens the door for bugs."
"Is this good news?" Guan Ling was about to cry, "Boss, please tell me some good news, I really can't bear it anymore."
After experiencing the spiritual world, jumping off a building, and then learning that the game had a bug, Guan Ling was able to persist until now without collapsing because of his blind trust in Xing Ye.
The same is true for Cao Qian, she is always holding on.
Xing Ye nodded and said: "It's good news. The game can accept bugs because bugs can increase the difficulty of the game without violating the original intention of the mission. This means that we can go out. There must be clues in the castle, but We haven't found it yet."
Cao Qian asked: "How can we get out? I have been using my mobile phone to record everything I see here, but I have no clue at all. This is all messed up, and the thing above won't come out, right?"
"Don't worry about the monsters in the attic for now, I think everything in this castle has a meaning, but we haven't figured it out yet. Especially on the second floor, do you think that the hanging on the left door The item you are holding is a bit like a life-saving prop?" Xing Ye asked.
This kind of idea came about because of the small mirror, the mirror hanging on the last "going out" door always reminded Xing Ye of the Western-style mirror he encountered in the first novice world, although one was hanging It is a handle type, but the outer pattern and material are very similar.
Cao Qian asked: "Why do you think so?"
Xing Ye said: "Do you still remember, when we didn't open the door in front of us, what happened to the door?"
Cao Qian and Guan Ling were listening to Xiao Jing's story at that time, their attention was a little distracted, and the doors were all the same, they walked a few steps, but they couldn't find the door they were standing on.
"The door disappeared." Even in the excited moment of reuniting with Lu Mingze, Xing Ye did not forget to pay attention to the surrounding environment, "After it disappeared, other doors were added, and when we noticed, it was exactly the same as before. "
